Way to have DSP's take pride in their work - treat them like criminals
 

Paper or online time sheets served their purpose and were not intrusive.  Our disabled people deserve the same respect non-disabled people get. I have called both DMAS and CDCN about problems clocking in/out for my attendants.  This system is intrusive to the disabled person.  Asking if the attendant was at the person's residence is very presumptuous.  Expecting GPS tracking to be active on their personal phones is intrusive.  How dare you want to know their whereabouts as if they are common criminals, even when they have no record on their background checks and you have no grounds to investigate.  What a way to make DSP's have pride in their work.  My attendants won't last long if this continues.
